Design Thinking Fundamentals: How design thinking and creativity can be used to enable innovation (12h online course)


This 12 hours hands-on training will help you to understand the principles of Design Thinking, introduced by experienced service designers and facilitators working in the field.

Currently similarly to the other designers, we can’t wait to influence the shape of the new-normal. We hear a lot of hopes about more sustainable directions for public and private business but also a lot of fears about an economical crisis coming. What will happen next? Are you curious to look with us at various signals of change, insights from various industries and learn how to influence the situation with service design thinking?

Together, we will dive deeper into 6 selected tools applied in various stages of innovation process as well as practice competences that will enable you to facilitate design thinking process in your environment.
